Media Reviews

Belatedly, Bishop has also won recognition [in Brazil] for her efforts to promote modern Brazilian poetry. She not only edited the collection An Anthology of 20th-Century Brazilian Poetry (Wesleyan Press) but also translated the poems of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, Joao Cabral de Melo Neto and other poets esteemed here. --New York Times

Brazil has long been discovered, but its spiritual cartography is only begun, and this anthology is a powerful atlas --Helen Vendler, The New York Times Book Review
